I blogged about seeing Matt & Kim last Saturday, but missing The Hoof and the Heel. I just found out they will be playing a show here in Toronto a few Fridays from now with Cuff the Duke and Library Voices, the #56 newmusicmonday. The band blends folksy rhythms with a soft indie sound and synthwork with enough snap so its not lullaby music. You can listen to 4 tracks from the 'Fireworks' EP here which exemplifies this. I definitely like their more uptempo stuff and really like this live version of "Fireworks" from this summer in NYC::
